Chapter 5 Shopping for Vegetables and Dividing the Booty
Heavenly Court, Tushita Palace.
Yinjiao's eyes turned green when he saw Zuo Xiaoyou: "Junior Brother Zuo Xiaoyou, you made me wait so hard!"
Seeing Yinjiao that was almost about to rush over to eat him, Zuo Xiaoyou coughed dryly and said, "Senior Sister Yinjiao, I have handed the recipe to Senior Sister Jinjiao."
"Who wants a recipe, I'm going to eat it now!" Yinjiao was about to cry: "It's been fifty days, fifty days, and I haven't eaten the delicious food made by junior brother Zuo Xiaoyou for fifty days. I'm going to starve to death."
“…”
When Taishang Laojun and Zhen Yuanzi were chatting, they couldn't help but smile when they saw this scene. Taishang Laojun said, "Your disciple is a genius. Not only is he of cultivation qualifications, but he is also of cooking. I have been talking a lot about these days."
Zhen Yuanzi smiled and said, "Yes, now my Wuzhuang Temple is always a skill that can be used to eat and eat. If Xiaoyou catches up with me in seclusion, my disciples will scream in pain."
"In this way, I want to try it too." The Supreme Lord smiled and said, "If you do it well, the Old Lord can ask your disciple for an official position as the God of Food and be worshipped by someone."
"Forget it." Zhen Yuanzi shook his head: "I'm afraid that my disciple will be tied up by the Jade Emperor by then, so there is no time to practice."
"The great way can be 3,000, and every one can prove Hunyuan. Even if you use food to prove the Tao, you may not be able to enter Hunyuan." said the Grand Lord.
Zhen Yuanzi thought about something.
Under the instructions of the Grand Lord, Zuo Xiaoyou became the chef of the subsequent Xiaoban, Jinjiao and Yinjiao.
"Junior brother, what are we doing?" Jinjiao and Yinjiao asked impatiently.
"I think about it." Zuo Xiaoyou looked at the kitchen in Tushita Palace. Not to mention, there were all pots, pans, stoves, etc., but there were no ingredients at all.
"Two senior sisters, there is nothing, how can I cook?" The clever woman was unable to cook without rice, and Zuo Xiaoyou was helpless.
"What are you going to use for junior brother? Let's buy it back." Jinjiao said.
purchase?
"There are also shops in the Heavenly Court?" Zuo Xiaoyou asked.
"Of course there is." Yinjiao said: "If there is no shop, what else would the God of Wealth do in Heaven? What salary do the immortals need? The daily food, clothing and expenses of the immortals require money."
"So that's it." Zuo Xiaoyou suddenly realized that the Heavenly Court had such a lifelike side. He thought that the gods planted everything they eat by themselves! Isn't this the case for Wuzhuang Temple!
"Then..." Zuo Xiaoyou thought for a while and asked, "What does Laojun like to eat?"
"Master?" Jinjiao and Yinjiao thought for a while and shook their heads: "Master doesn't usually eat anything. Only at the Jade Emperor banquet will you drink some fairy wine and some fairy fruits."
"Do you eat meat?" Zuo Xiaoyou asked.
"Not to eat!" Jinjiao, Yinjiao shook his head repeatedly, Jinjiao said: "The meat and fish are dirty, and it will harm us practitioners without any benefit."
Zuo Xiaoyou nodded, this was the same as Qingfeng and Mingyue said.
"But the meat is really delicious!" Yinjiao swallowed: "I still remember that I went to the world to secretly eat roast chicken, roast lamb, and roast beef. The taste is still unforgettable to me."
"I'm still talking!" Jinjiao said resentfully: "I ate so much meat with you at that time, which caused the turbid air to enter the body, and we couldn't go back to the heaven. It's thanks to the master who soaked us in the spiritual liquid pool to melt the turbid air, otherwise we would have to be monsters for the rest of our lives."
"You forgot all your concerns when you ate it." Yinjiao sarcastically.
"Bah, I was taken away by you." Jinjiao glared at her with a blushing face.
"..." Zuo Xiaoyou coughed twice and said, "Two senior sisters, it's not impossible to eat meat."
"No!" Jinjiao said quickly: "The turbid air in the flesh is too heavy. Master has spared us once. If he commits again, Master will definitely not be able to spare us."
Although Yinjiao was so greedy that he was about to flow out, he could only refuse.
"Haha..." Zuo Xiaoyou smiled and said, "Don't worry, two senior sisters, my meat is vegetarian meat, made of soybeans. Although it tastes like meat, it does not have any meat or dirty air, and you are not afraid of eating it."
"Seriously!" Jinjiao and Yinjiao exclaimed, and when Zuo Xiaoyou nodded, he immediately grabbed his arm with ecstasy face: "Good junior brother, then you do it quickly, do it quickly! We can't wait."
Thinking of the smell of meat, the saliva of the two could no longer be controlled.
Zuo Xiaoyou smiled and said, "Don't worry, two senior sisters. If you want to make vegetarian meat, you must have soybeans. Besides, I also need other ingredients to help you. Why don't we go to the store to buy some vegetables first?"
"What are you waiting for?" Jinjiao and Yinjiao immediately pulled Zuo Xiaoyou away from Tushita Palace and headed straight for the Tianting Vegetable Market.
The vegetable market in Heaven is a bit similar to the market on earth. Many servants of immortals have grown a lot of grain, vegetables and fruits. In addition to leaving good quality to use, those with poor quality to use will be transported to the vegetable market for sale.
The most common one in the heavenly court is the little god and fairy. They have no place to farm, and they have to rely on the salary of the court to buy three meals a day. Some people know how to cook, buy vegetables and cook by themselves when they go home, and some people know how to cook. There are also ready-made snacks in the vegetable market. Although the taste is average, as long as they can fill their stomachs, the important thing is the spiritual energy contained in the food.
Like Wuzhuang Temple, although you can survive without eating, the spiritual energy contained in the food is much stronger than that of practicing it yourself, and there is no need to practice it. It is enough to eat it into your stomach. Therefore, the chefs in the Heavenly Court are still very marketable.
Unfortunately, the ingredients for making snacks are relatively ordinary Heavenly Garden fruits and vegetables. Even if they are made into food, their spiritual energy is not as good as medium- and high-end fairy fruits and fairy wines. Therefore, fairy gods with a little skill can easily get medium- and high-end fairy fruits, fairy vegetables, and fairy wines. They will not go to the vegetable market to buy ingredients and cook. Today, Jinjiao and Yinjiao actually brought a young man to the vegetable market that only the "working public" would come to. The low-level immortals in the entire vegetable market were shocked.
Seeing that he was staring at everyone like a rare animal, Zuo Xiaoyou frowned and said to Jinjiao, who was watching the fun everywhere, Yinjiao said: "Two senior sisters, let's buy ingredients quickly and go back! If the banquet is delayed, and Master and Laojun blame us, we will not be able to afford it."
Jinjiao and Yinjiao have not gone out for a long time, and they were a little crazy as soon as they came out. After hearing Zuo Xiaoyou's words, although they were still unsatisfied, they could only buy ingredients in disappointment and return to Tushita Palace. However, the three of them came to the vegetable market to buy vegetables and spread throughout the heavenly court in a short time.
When the immortals in the Heavenly Court heard that the two children of the Taishang Laojun actually took Zhen Yuanzi's disciple to the vegetable market to buy vegetables? This was fresh, and then some good things were sent to ask about what was going on. But the three of them returned to the Tushita Palace and did not come out. They could not get the news for a while, and some great gods who were qualified to go to the Tushita Palace. The great immortals could not sit still and ran to the Tushita Palace to visit each other.
At this moment, Zuo Xiaoyou was preparing today's dinner with the kitchen. Taishang Laojun and Zhen Yuanzi were having tea and chatting. Suddenly, many gods ran to visit him. They found it strange, but they still welcomed them in and served in tea.
"Why are you here for me today?" Looking at the dozen or so gods who filled their living room, the Grand Hisang asked curiously.
"Uh...hehe, nothing is wrong, nothing is wrong, it's just that I haven't seen each other for many days. If I miss you, I'll visit you and have a visit." Although the gods who came were all great gods in the Heavenly Court, their seniority was one or several levels lower than that of the Taishang Laojun. The gods who spoke were particularly respectful and did not dare to be rude at all.
"..." The old man of the Supreme Lord looked at these hypocritical gods, shook his head speechlessly, and said, "Didn't he suppressed the demon monkey yesterday and had a banquet in Lingxiao Palace!"
"Uh..." The immortals were speechless and very embarrassed.
Zhen Yuanzi narrowed his eyes and laughed: "Why should you tell me what you want to come? What are you going to do if you cover up?"
Zhen Yuanzi's words were full of malicious intentions, which made these gods sweat coldly, and knew that they could not hide them anymore, otherwise they would have to make Taishang Laojun angry.
"Actually, there is nothing else. I just heard that Jinjiao, Yinjiao and a young man went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables. I was curious and came to ask the reason." The barefoot immortal smiled dryly, "Do you two seniors know about this?"
I see.
Taishang Laojun and Zhen Yuanzi understood, but at the same time they were also a little amused and crying. Taishang Laojun said, "This is the case."
"Then..." The immortals became even more confused. Only the little immortal who was not as good as the status of the Supreme Lord could eat inferior ingredients? This matter was so weird everywhere!
"The disciples of fellow Taoist Zhenyuan, who followed my two children," said the Supreme Lord, "This person is named Zuo Xiaoyou, and his cooking skills have won the praises of my two children. Even fellow Taoist Zhenyuan praised him. The old Taoist was curious and asked him to prepare for today's dinner. He didn't want to alarm you, sin, sin."
So that's the case.
The immortals understood, but at the same time they were also a little amused and cried. After a long time of trouble, it turned out that it was just such a little sesame and mung bean incident that made them think what happened to Taishang Laojun!
Since they knew it was not a big deal, the immortals wanted to get up and say goodbye, but the Taishang Laojun pressed down with one hand and said, "I've come here, so let's go after dinner! You can also try the food that was praised by fellow Taoist Zhenyuan together."
Zhen Yuanzi laughed and scolded: "Laojun will be generous to others."
The Grand Lord smiled faintly: "It is better to have fun than to have fun alone, so let everyone see each other."
The Emperor Taishang Laojun spoke, and these juniors had to agree.
In the kitchen, Zuo Xiaoyou heard that many gods came to eat again, so he was stunned and said, "Why are so many coming?"
"It seems that the news of us going to the vegetable market to buy vegetables has spread." Yinjiao gnawed an apple and said, "These gods are all idle, so they come over for a little bit of work."
"..." Zuo Xiaoyou sighed. It turned out that gossip is not only human nature, but also gods cannot escape.
"So many people came at once, the ingredients were a bit insufficient!" Zuo Xiaoyou looked at the ingredients in his hand. It was prepared according to ten people. It was enough before, but now there are more than a dozen at once, and the ingredients are insufficient.
"What should I do?" Jinjiao frowned: "It's so late now, and there is no one in the vegetable market."
"That's not simple." Yinjiao said as he gnawed the apple: "There is no reason why so many people come to eat for free without invitation? It's enough to ask them for orders."
King Jinke's eyes lit up and he raised his thumb: "High, it's really high."
The Silver Horn King was proud and proud: "Take the surrender."
"..." Zuo Xiaoyou coughed dryly: "Can it work?"
"Don't worry." Yinjiao threw away the apple core and said, "This is for me." After saying that, Yinjiao ran out of the kitchen. Not long after, he ran over with a sneered smile on his face and threw a mustard bag to Zuo Xiaoyou: "Isn't this happening?"
Zuo Xiaoyou opened the mustard bag and saw it. Wow! There are a lot of things inside, such as spiritual elixir, nectar, jade liquid, pearl agate... everything is available, but...
"Why are there no food and vegetables?" Zuo Xiaoyou poured out a bunch of things. The fairy fruits and nectar and jade liquid can be used as decorations. Other things have nothing to do with eating.
"It's all a bunch of gods. Eat some fairy fruits and fairy wine. Eat less and don't be hungry." Yinjiao smiled and said, "Junior brother, the rest are the benefits given to you by those gods, so you can accept it!"
"This..." Although these things are given by gods, they are all high-level gods in the Heavenly Court after all, and they are all good things that are given by Zuo Xiaoyou. It is fake that he is not moved, but it seems inappropriate to only take the benefits himself.
"Senior Sister Jinjiao, Sister Yinjiao, as the saying goes, those who see each other have a share. I feel ashamed of these things. Let's divide them together!" How can we establish a good relationship with others? It's very simple, just win-win.
If you have something to stutter, give me a bite and I will remember your good things; if I have something to stutter, give you a bite, you will remember my good things. If you have something good in the future, everyone can share with each other, so that they can maintain a good relationship.
Although these things were given to him by other gods, the things were made by Yinjiao with ideas, and they should have a portion of the silver horn. Although the golden horn did not work or work, she was a witness. In order not to make her feel dissatisfied, she should also get a portion of it in the future.
Wealth is moving, there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests. These are the wisdom summarized by human beings for thousands of years. Zuo Xiaoyou can be clear in his heart and will not be able to sit on wax.
"This... isn't good!" Although Yinjiao was very happy, Jinjiao felt guilty.
"There's nothing wrong with it." Zuo Xiaoyou smiled and said, "The two senior sisters are kind to me, and I must be kind to both of them. They are both our own people, so don't be so polite. Come on, let's divide these things into three parts."
Immortal fruit and fairy wine are to be served as a banquet, but cannot be distributed. The other Zuo Xiaoyou divided into three portions according to the value, and then asked the silver horn to pick first, the golden horn to pick later, and the last portion belongs to him.
Jinjiao and Yinjiao were very moved and felt that Zuo Xiaoyou was very interested in them. In this way, the two of them were embarrassed to choose first. Especially Jinjiao: "Junior brother, you should come first!"
"Yes, junior brother comes first." Yinjiao also agreed: "The things are for junior brother, junior brother choose them first."
"This... OK!" Zuo Xiaoyou looked at it and finally picked out the seemingly worthless one: "I will choose this one."
When Zuo Xiaoyou looked at him, he picked up a bunch of ragged iron, but left the most beautiful jewelry to himself. Golden Horn and Silver Horn were very touched: Junior brother is so good, we must be better for junior brother in the future.
